Answer:

2400 N (Newtons)

Explanation:

The weight of an object can be calculated using the equation:

Weight = mass * gravitational acceleration

Given:

Mass of the bed (m) = 120 kg

Gravitational acceleration (g) = 20 m/s²

Using the weight equation:

Weight = mass * gravitational acceleration

Weight = 120 kg * 20 m/s²

Weight = 2400 kg·m/s²

The unit of the weight is kilogram-meter per second squared (kg·m/s²), which is equivalent to the unit of force called Newton (N).

Therefore, the weight of the bed is 2400 Newtons (N).
